Epic

  The theme of this year's camp is Epic, doing big things for God. The picture to the left is my girls. I have the youngest girls this year which is kind of refreshing because there is no boy drama! YES!! They are all 13-14 years old. I was supposed to have 6 girls, but I found out that one of them passed away suddenly the day before camp. Please pray for her family. 

The girls names are (starting at me and going left) Lydia, (I had her older sister for 3 years), Molly, Shannon (She is a missionary kid from Haiti), Rachel, and Morgan. All sweet girls. I'm blessed to have them in my group this year. 

Pray for Morgan, I had a conversation with her yesterday about how she has trust issues and doesn't want to trust the Lord. She wants to be a Christian, but doesn't understand why God puts trials in our lives. I was able to explain to her the sovereignty of God and talk about Job (Thanks to my pastor Mark for doing the Job series!) and how God allowed all these trials to come into Job's life, but he still praised the Lord and never doubted his sovereignty. I explained to her the God is our Father and like our earthly Father, he disciplines us for our good and for his glory. She came back to me and said that God was being selfish and I told her he has the right to be selfish. So praise God for allowing the Gospel conversation to start. I challenged her to read the book of Job and Psalms. Hopefully, I will have more conversations with all my girls one on one. 

Keep praying that the Gospel is clear in the messages as I am not really sure it has been for the campers. 

I'm excited about this week! I'm stoked to get to know my girls more and watch the Lord challenge them in their walk.
